Hollow

Dark hollow words echo 
in my skin for things 
I have done in numerable sins 
counting each a thorn of pain 
dark hollow words distain 
desire my internal fire 
my funeral pyre they cut so slow 
so very deep I feel then seep
down to keep me in turmoil 
Cleansed by my fire slow and complete 
dark hollow words 
echo long 
into my night
longing for something 
to keep me company
